My favorite gift this season...

I received these "Instructions for Life" as a Christmas Card this year and I must share these beautiful words of wisdom. Please enjoy, breathe in, and share them! Best to you!!!

Take into account that great love and great
achievements involve great risk.

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

Follow the three R's:

Respect for self,
Respect for others and
Responsibility for all your actions.

Remember that not getting what you want
is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Learn the rules so you know
how to break them properly.

Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

When you realize you've made a mistake,
take immediate steps to correct it.

Spend some time alone every day.

Open arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get
older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

A loving atmosphere in your home is
the foundation for your life.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with
the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

Share your knowledge. It's a way to
achieve immortality.

Be gentle with the earth.
Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love
for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

Words of wisdom from the Dalai Lama.

A few keys to setting those 2010 goals...

The alphabet...get those goals down in your journal...or even better...sketch them out...the best way to bring ideas to life is to get them onto paper! May we use our words to Dream Big!

And of course a support team to help you along the way...friends, family and peers! Helping each other out can bring great results for everyone!!! May we share our gifts with others!

Dream Big for the New Year!!!



December is the time of year to look back on the past 12 months and contemplate our lessons...how we reached our goals...and see where we can continue making improvements. Mostly, it is a time to look forward to new beginnings! Take time now to set your goals and intentions for the fresh new year. December is the time to DREAM BIG!!!!

A few of my intentions for 2010 are to....Celebrate every day!...Dream BIG!...Share!...Play!...Be Blissfully Happy!...Love!....and Laugh!!! I wish the same for you!

"Miss Kelly" for Pink Chandelier


I am so excited to announce that Pink Light is launching a new line named Pink Chandelier! Our Pink Chandelier collections will of course still have fun, vibrant colors, and a happy, whimsical feel. We have simply added a twist of sophistication! The first in our new line is named "Miss Kelly"...after the lovely Grace Kelly, of course. As I'm a bit obsessed with classic films at the moment. Enjoy! (You can double click image to view it larger)

Pink Happy Thought of the day: Be who you are. Always strive for improvement, but love where you are right now. Celebrate yourself. Celebrate life!
